High-Resolution Vegetation Traits and Fluxes during NASA's SHIFT campaign, for Dangermond Preserve, California, 2022

Description

Overview

This dataset compiles high-resolution (30 m) remote sensing and modeling data obtained from various sources including AVIRIS-NG (Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer-Next Generation), TROPOMI (TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument) SIF, and outputs from the Climate Modeling Alliance (CliMA) Land model. It was collected as part of the SHIFT (Surface Biology and Geology High-Frequency Time Series) campaign conducted in 2022 at the Dangermond Preserve, California. This comprehensive dataset provides valuable insights into vegetation traits, plant functional types, and ecosystem dynamics.
